What Workers’ Comp Typically Covers
Under Kansas workers’ compensation law, most work-related dental injuries qualify for:
- Same-day emergency exam
- Oral surgery
- X-rays, scans, and exams
- Restorative care (crowns, fillings, bonding)
- Root canals
- Dental implants, when necessary due to trauma
- Follow-up appointments
- Pain management and infection control
In most cases, there’s no deductible: your employer’s insurance covers the treatment, not you.
